Paula Omokhomion is the visionary and CEO of Expanded Perspectives, the K12 education multimedia outfit that houses the Onohi Talks podcast and EP Toolkit, as well as forthcoming creative endeavors. She is also the toolkit's creator in its entirety. Paula graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Nutrition (Health and Society) with distinction from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. There, she also double-minored with highest honors in creative writing fiction and sociology, which supports her work in Expanded Perspectives.
She is currently pursuing her Master of Public Policy (MPP) at the University of California, Riverside. Paula's primary academic interests lie in the intersection between private and public sector contributions to health outcomes, as well as strengthening health systems and social welfare programming in low-resource settings. Her lived experience in Nigeria and the US drives this population focus.
She also has an interest in civic education and media policy in K-12 institutions and their effect on behavior, youth civic participation, juvenile incarceration rates, government accountability, transparency, and national development. Paula believes that a more educated population can demand better public health services and support sustainable change, as the local workforce will not be easily distracted.
She aims to get a PhD in Public Health after her MPP and work in health systems strengthening (academia) and non-profit grant development and consultancy.
